Planning your getaway for the Mid-Autumn and National Day holidays? We've outlined three relaxing travel options for you: summiting the mountain, admiring the Yellow River, and roaming the vast plains. Come explore Zhengzhou, the Center of Heaven and Earth, Hometown of the Yellow Emperor, and City of Kung Fu!

中秋、国庆假期即将到来，想好去哪游玩了吗？我们精心准备了登大山、览大河、行大平原三大玩法，邀您赴约天地之中、黄帝故里、功夫郑州！

Zhengzhou boasts stunning natural scenery— a tapestry of mountains, rivers, plains and urban vistas — imbued with the throbbing, millennia‑old cultural heritage rooted in this land.

郑州之美不仅在于“山河湖城”交相辉映的自然格局，更在于大山、大河、大平原上沉淀的千年文明脉动。

Summit the Mountain

登大山

Scale Songshan Mountain for a spiritual immersion into Chinese civilization. At its feet, every move of Shaolin Zen‑Kung Fu is one step along a path of self‑cultivation. The sound of ancient scholarship at Songyang Academy still echoes with centuries‑old ideals. At the Ancient Observatory, the ingenuity of stargazers of old remains undimmed by time.

登嵩山，赴一场中华文明的精神朝圣。嵩山脚下，少林禅武一招一式皆是生命的修行；嵩阳书院琅琅书声，回荡千年理想；观星台下，古人仰望星空的智慧依然熠熠生辉。

Suggested Route: Visit the Shaolin Scenic Area, Songyang Scenic Area and Zhongyue Scenic Area in Dengfeng. Don't miss the open-air evening music ceremony "Zen Shaolin". If you plan a two-day trip, extend your tour to Fuxi Mountain Grand Canyon and Zhenwei Water City in Xinmi. Trace the roots of Kung Fu and seek wisdom amid breathtaking mountain and river scenery.

游览路线：可游登封嵩山少林景区、登封嵩阳景区、登封中岳景区，夜赏《禅宗少林·音乐大典》演出；两日行程还可延伸至新密伏羲山大峡谷、溱水城，于山水间功夫寻源、山水问道。

Admire the Yellow River

览大河

To touch the soul and ancestral roots of the Chinese nation, begin at the Yellow River. Here lie glimmers of the early civilization preserved in the painted pottery of Dahe Village and the dawn of the ancient Heluo Kingdom at the Shuanghuaishu Site. The confluence of the Yellow and Luo Rivers gave rise to profound philosophical thought, and the Yellow River‑Crossing Project of the Middle Route of the South‑to‑North Water Diversion Project stands as a modern‑day engineering feat. The Yellow River nourished ancient agrarian civilizations and still throbs with endless innovation and hope to this day.

触摸中华民族的血脉与根魂，要从黄河开始。从大河村彩陶上的点点星火，到双槐树“河洛古国”的文明曙光；从河洛交汇的天地哲思，到南水北调穿黄工程的现代壮举——黄河不仅哺育了古老农耕文明，更奔涌着不竭的创新与希望。

Suggested Route: Tour the Zhengzhou Yellow River Cultural Park, the Tongji Canal Section of the Grand Canal (Zhengzhou), and Dahe Village National Archaeological Site Park. Delve into the age-old heritage of the Yellow River and trace the origins of Chinese civilization.

游览路线：沿郑州黄河文化公园、大运河通济渠郑州段、大河村国家考古遗址公园行走，读懂黄河古韵，寻根中华文明。

Roam the Vast Plains

行大平原

Roam across these broad plains and witness an ancient civilization re-invigorated in modern times. Inside Henan Museum, the 8,000-year-old Jiahu Bone Flute still rings out with clear, resonant tones. New Bodu, the Erqi Memorial Tower and the Zhengzhou Memory 1952 Creative Block capture the vibrant everyday spirit of local life. The iconic "Big Corn" skyscraper in the Zhengdong New Area CBD lights up the city skyline. Here tradition and modern-day life weave together; grassroots charm meets a futuristic vision, presenting a genuine, multi-faceted and dynamic China to the world.

行大平原，读懂一个古老文明的当代新生。河南博物院中，贾湖骨笛穿越八千年时光依然清越悠扬；亳都·新象、二七纪念塔、郑州记忆1952油化厂创意街区，连接市井烟火；郑东新区CBD“大玉米”矗立，点亮城市璀璨天际。传统与现代在此交融，市井烟火与未来气象交相辉映，向世界展示一个真实、立体、发展的中国。

Suggested Route: Tour Henan Museum, Zhengzhou Shang City National Archaeological Park of China, New Bodu and Zhengdong New Area CBD. Trace the legacy of the ancient Shang capital and experience the seamless interplay of past and present.

游览路线：参观河南博物院、郑州商都国家考古遗址公园、亳都·新象、郑东新区CBD，读懂商都印记，感受古今辉映。

As autumn cloaks the land in rich, vibrant hues, spend your holiday in Zhengzhou. Listen to the echoes of ancient civilization beneath your feet, as sweeping landscapes unfold before your eyes. Mix and match these three travel themes — each journey yields fresh discoveries!

趁秋色正好，把假期交给郑州，脚下有文明回响，眼前有山河铺展。三大玩法，多种组合，每次出发都有新答案！
